If you are going to build an analysis on the notion of theft and law

My aim is not to enforce western laws as an end in themselves, but I
have no compunctions about using those laws as a tool. Free licences can
also be viewed as tools for achieving free knowledge. If we really want
knowledge to be free we have to stop treating it as a market commodity.
Once it belongs to everybody it's no longer stealable.
